Scene  T. — An  old  Kitchen  or  Plain  Chamber  with  Door  in  each  Flat  and 
practical  Window  in  centre. 

(Enter  Landlord  l.  d.  f.,  looking  about.)  I wonder  Low  much  longer  it 
will  be  before  I get  a tenant.  By  George,  1 don’t  get  enough  out  of  this 
property  to  keep  it  in  repair.  I’ve  had  it  in  the  hands  of  a couple  of 
agents  for  three  months ; it  strikes  me  that  they  don’t  try  very  hard  to 
let  it. 

Mr.  Ditimus  (looks  in  the  door  and  walks  in;  bows).  I see  a bill  on 
dis  place  to  let,  is  you  de  landlord  ? 

Landlord.  Yes,  sir. 

Ditimus.  How  much  is  it? 

Landlord.  Nine  dollars  a month. 

Ditimus.  Putty  high,  ain’t  it? 

Landlord.  No,  sir;  I think  it  very  cheap. 

Ditimus.  Well,  it  might  be  for  the  house  and  lot. 

Landlord.  What  do  you  mean  ? 

Ditimus.  I mean  business ; I ain’t  got  time  to  fool,  either. 

Landlord.  Are  you  looking  for  apartments  ? 

Ditimus.  I’ve  been  house  hunting  for  a week. 

Landlord.  Where  are  you  living  now  ? 

Ditimus.  Down  in  Doughnut  lane. 

Landlord.  Why  don’t  you  stay  there  ? 

Ditimus.  Because  I can’t  sleep  nights. 

Landlord.  Why  not? 

Ditimus.  It’s  the  largest  cat  district  in  the  country;  they’ve  got  a 
musical  academy  with  thirty  thousand  scholars  in  it,  and  they  sing  a grand 
chorus  four  nights  every  week,  commencing  at  eleven,  closing  at  four  in 
the  morning ; the  other  three  nights  they  have  woodshed  serenades ; the 
early  part  of  the  evenings  they  all  go  out  on  picnics,  and  upset  ash  pans 
and  garbage  kettles ; in  fact,  they  are  never  quiet — garden  duetts  and  area 
courtship  is  perpetual. 

Landlord.  Well,  I’m  happy  to  say  that  you  won’t  have  any  annoyance 
round  here  from  that  tribe,  because  the  neighbors  keep  shooting  them 
and  they  are  cunning  enough  to  stay  away. 

Ditimus.  Well,  I’m  right  glad  of  that,  I work  hard  all  day  and  feel 
like  sleep  when  I go  to  bed.  What  is  de  lowest  rent  you  will  take  ? 
Landlord.  Do  you  want  the  whole  room  ? 

Ditimus.  Yes;  I don’t  like  to  cut  my  carpet,  and  I can  take  a few 
boarders  on  dat  side. 

Landlord.  Well,  I’ll  let  you  have  it  the  first  month  for  five  dollars  a 
month  in  advance. 

Ditimus.  That  is  all  this  room? 

Landlord.  Yes.

RIVAL  TENANTS. 


Ditimus.  I suppose  you’ll  put  in  a nice  door  and  vestibule  (pointing),  for 
that  one  looks  pretty  well  played  out ; a stained  glass  dome  light  would 
look  a little  better  than  that  shutter  scuttle  up  there.  Is  dar  any  hot  and 
cold  water,  or  bath  tub  ? I don’t  see  any  gas  fixtures. 

Landlord.  Oh,  my  dear  sir,  I won’t  spend  a cent  on  the  premises ; it 
don’t  pay. 

Ditimus.  How  is  it  about  cooking?  You  can  go  a nice  Beebe  range. 

Landlord.  There’s  no  place  to  put  it. 

Ditimus.  Oh,  yes,  put  it  on  do  roof,  den  dat  will  carry  away  all  the 
smell  of  the  victuals. 

Landlord.  Dis  nigger  is  too  high  toned  for  me.  Well,  what  do  you 
say;  do  you  want  the  place  or  not? 

Ditimus.  I’ll  take  it. 

Landlord.  Give  me  your  money. 

Ditimus.  Give  me  your  receipt. 

Landlord.  I’ve  got  one  already  in  my  pocket.  (He  takes  the  money  and 
gives  receipt) 

Ditimus.  When  can  I move  in  ? 

Landlord.  Any  time  you  like — right  away. 

Ditimus.  Where  will  I get  the  keys  ? 

Landlord.  I don’t  know;  never  had  any;  good  day.  (Exits  d.  f.) 

Ditimus.  Well,  I’ll  go  home,  pack  up  and  move  in  right  away.  (Exits 

D.  F.) 

Enter  Agent  and  Mr.  Staple  r.  d.  f.  The  Agent  is  showing  Staple 

the  place. 

Agent.  There  you  are,  just  as  nice  rooms  as  you  can  find  anywhere. 
A crazy  man  hung  himself  here  last  winter,  that  is  the  reason  why  the 
place  has  not  been  rented  sooner;  we’ve  put  the  rent  down  very  low  just 
on  that  account,  and  could  have  let  it  two  or  three  times  to  Senators  and 
Congressmen,  but  the  owner  is  very  particular  and  wants  first  class 
references. 

Staple.  I can  give  you  de  best  of  references  from  a first  class  house, 
whar  I’ve  been  for  five  years. 

Agent.  What’s  the  name  of  the  firm  ? 

Staple.  Keno  & Co. 

Agent.  Are  they  large  dealers  ? 

Staple.  Yes,  dey  do  a big  trade,  dev  have  to  work  all  night  sometimes. 

Agent.  Indeed,  what  do  they  sell  mostly  ? 

Staple.  Pasteboard  cards  and  buttons. 

Agent.  Well,  I guess  you’re  all  right;  how  many  have  you  in  family? 

Staple.  Myself,  my  wife,  two  cats  and  a Poll  parrot.  Say,  what  you 
goin;  to  charge  for  de  rent? 

Agent.  The  rent,  usually,  has  been  fifteen  dollars  a month,  but  I'll  let 
you  have  it  the  first  mouth  for  five  dollars,  payable  in  advance,  and  if  I 
find  you  a good  reliable  man  I’ll  give  you  a forty  years’  lease. 

Staple.  All  right,  I’ll  take  it;  it  don’t  leak,  does  it? 

Agent.  Only  when  it  rains  hard. 

Staple.  When  can  I move  in  ? 

Agent.  Right  away  if  you  like. 

Staple.  When  will  you  have  the  papers  ready  ? 

Agent.  I’ve  got  them  now;  show  me  your  money. 

Staple.  Oh,  yes,  the  rent  (hands  him  Jive).  I want  a receipt. 

Agent.  Certainly,  here  it  is.  (Pulls  out  receipt;  gives  it.)  Now,  sir,  the 


RIVAL  TENANTS. 


premises  are  yours,  and  you  have  got  the  Agent’s  receipt  for  the  rent  you 
have  paid ; you  can  move  in  at  once  and  no  one  can  stop  you ; good  day. 
(Exits  D.  F.) 

Staple.  I’m  already  packed  up  and  it’s  a nice  day ; I’ll  move  in  here 
right  away ; I only  got  one  load  and  I can  carry  it  myself.  (Exits  r.  d.  f.) 

Enter  Ditimus  l.  d.  f.  with  heaps  of  rubbish  in  his  arms , consisting  of 
broken  chairs , pans,  kettles , and  destroyed  household  material  of  most  every  de- 
scription ; small  piece  of  carpet , size  of  a,  handkerchief  He  throws  down  the 
first  armful  R.,  and  goes  out  for  more.  (Exit  l.  d.) 

Enter  Staple  r.  d.  f.  with  heaps  of  rubbish  in  the  way  of  old  worn  out 
broken  furniture , piece  of  stovepipe , etc. ; he  goes  to  throw  it  down  R. ; stops. 

Staple.  Hallo,  what’s  that  ? I guess  the  last  family  ain’t  moved  out 
yet  (and  throws  his  furniture  down  l). 

Enter  Ditimus  l.  d.  f.  with  another  load  of  rubbish;  looks  at  the  first  heap  l. 

Ditimus.  That  don’t  look  like  my  stuff ; there’s  two  loads  of  furniture 
here  and  I only  brought  one. 

Staple.  Yes,  dat’s  so,  and  you  better  go  out  with  the  other  one. 

Ditimus  (throws  down  his  load  l.  among  Staple’s  stuff).  Say,  how  is 
this ; who  are  you  ? 

Staple.  I’ll  soon  let  you  know;  I am  the  tenant  here;  this  place 
belongs  to  me;  I hired  it  to-day  and  paid  my  money. 

Ditimus.  Oh,  no,  that  won’t  do,  I hired  this  place  myself. 

Staple.  When? 

Ditimus.  To-day,  and  paid  my  good  money  for  it,  and  can  show  my 
receipt,  too. 

Staple.  So  can  I. 

Ditimus.  Who  did  you  hire  the  house  from  ? 

Staple.  I hired  it  from  the  agent.  Who  let  the  place  to  you  ? 

Ditimus.  Why,  the  landlord,  to  be  sure,  and  there’s  his  receipt  (show- 
ing it),  and  I want  you  to  move  out  quick,  do  you  hear  ? 

Staple.  Well,  you’ll  have  a good  time  to  get  me  out  of  my  own  house. 
( Goes  up  to  the  L.  heap  and  begins  to  assort  his  stuff  from  the  pile , and  throws 
over  wrong  pieces  by  mistake.  Ditimus  throws  them  back  again  to  l.  They 
both  wrangle  and  come  near  fighting.  After  cooling  down) — 

Ditimus.  Say,  I’ll  tell  you  what  to  do,  and  we  can  both  live  here  snug 
and  comfortable.  You  have  got  a receipt,  so  have  I,  and  I got  the  best 
right,  for  I hired  of  the  owner,  the  landlord  himself ; now,  you  give  me 
five  dollars  and  I’ll  be  your  landlord,  and  I’ll  give  you  my  receipt  for  it, 
ten  no  body  can  put  us  out. 

Staple.  Well,  if  I hire  your  part  how  much  more  room  do  I get  ? 

Ditimus.  You  get  half;  I wasn’t  going  to  let  you  have  an)’. 

Staple.  Well,  there’s  five  dollars;  give  me  your  receipt.  How  is  we 
goin’  to  divide  the  room  ? 

Ditimus.  Why,  make  a line  down  de  middle ; you  take  one  side  and  I’ll 
take  de  other. 

Staple  (begins  to  make  a line  down  c.,  after  they  each  hunt  up  their  goods 
from  the  heaps  and  throw  them  over  to  each  other  as  they  are  recognized.  Con- 
versation during  this  is  short , ad  lib. ; after  the  division  of  goods  they  go  to 

bed.)

Ditimus.  Say,  have  you  got  a piece  of  candle  ? I got  a candlestick. 

Staple.  Yes,  but  I can’t  sleep  with  a light. 

Ditimus.  Well,  I can’t  sleep  without  one,  and  I’m  afraid  of  thieves: 
there  ain’t  any  locks  or  bolts  on  a door  or  shutter  in  the  house.  (Staple 
passes  the  candle , Ditimus  lights  it , and  lets  it  burn  in  the  centre  of  stage, 
between  them;  they  say  good  night  to  each  other;  goodnight.  A live  cat  i> 
let  loose  from  either  side  2 d entrance , and  will  run  across  stage;  this 
frightens  them  both ; Staple  throws  any  missile  and  hits  the  candle , which 
puts  it  out. 

Ditimus.  If  that  wasn’t  a cat  I hope  to  holler ; that  landlord  said  there 
wasn’t  any  cats  around  here. 

(Somebody  in  the  wing  imitates  the  singing  noise  of  cats;  Ditimus  imagines 
he  sees  one  near  the  R.  c.  of  stage  and  crawls  on  his  hands  and  knees  for  it. 
Staple  thinks  that  Ditimus  is  a large  cat , and  crawls  cautiously  near  R. 
c.  of  stage  to  get  him , having  a cracked  plate  in  his  hand  to  smash  him ; in 
their  creeping  they  both  imitate  cats  squalling , and  talk  to  each  other.) 

Ditimus.  Mary  Ann,  can  I come  over  in  your  yard  ? Mew ! 

Staple.  Mow,  wow;  I’m  mad  at  you. 

Ditimus.  Oh,  ain’t  you  ashamed  ? 

(At  this  they  have  crawled  close  together , feel  each  other's  heads , and  Staple 
smashes  the  plate  over  Ditimus’  head;  they  instantly  recognize  their  great 
mistake , say  a few  words  ad  lib.,  then  lay  down  to  bed  again.  A profile  cat 
appears  at  the  window — a working  cat  is  better  if  it  can  be  made — at  which 
time  the  noise  and  sound  of  cats  is  kept  up  by  some  one  in  wings.  Ditimus 
sees  it,  takes  aim  with  his  pistol , so  does  Staple — they  both  fire  at  same  time 
at  the  cat  in  window , after  which  thirty  or  forty  more  stuffed  cats  fall  from  the 
flies , during  which  time  the  scene  closes.

Three  New  Plays 


HANDICAPPED; 

Or,  A RACING  ROMANCE. 

An  Original  Comedy  in  Two  Acts. 

By  SALLIE  TOLER. 

Three  male,  eight  female  characters.  The  Reverend  Theoph- 
ilus  Stiggs,  who  provokes  as  much  laughter  as  the  minister  in 
“ The  Private  Secretary,”  and  Edward  Thurston,  a young  man 
with  a taste  for  fast  horses,  have  exchanged  coats  by  mistake 
and  the  complications  arising  from  their  mistaken  identity  in 
consequence  are  most  ludicrous.  The  school-room  scene  allows 
the  introduction  of  specialties,  and  is  as  funny  as  anything  in 
De  Wolf  Hopper’s  “ Dr.  Syntax.”  Easily  staged  and  costumed, 
it  is  within  the  range  of  any  amateur  company.  Time  of  play- 
ing, one  hour. 

PRICE,  15  CENTS. 

THE  MATCH  BOX. 

An  Original  Comedy  in  Two  Acts. 

By  ALICE  GALE  WOODBURY. 

Five  male,  four  female  characters.  A most  amusing  little 
comedy  in  which  the  strategy  of  the  major  and  the  young 
doctor  defeat  the  advanced  ideas  of  the  “New  Woman,”  and 
the  young  surgeon’s  skill  finds  ample  reward.  Scene,  one  in- 
terior.  Costumes  modern.  Time  of  playing,  one  hour. 

PRICK,  15  CENTS. 

DANCING  ATTENDANCE. 

A Comedietta  in  One  Act. 

By  HENRY  L.  WILLIAMS. 

Thr-rr  male,  one  female,  characters.  A charming  little  come» 
dietta.  The  part  of  Dolly  Rymple,  known  as  Mistress  Dorothy, 
the  principal  dancer  at  the  King’s  Theatre,  gives  an  exceptional 
opportunity  for  a graceful  dancer,  while  Gilbert  Trivett,  the 
blacksmith  poet ; Sir  Pungent  Pimpernell,  the  fop,  and  Nick 
Sop,  the  village  cobbler  and  toper,  are  all  well-drawn  characters 
and  give  equal  opportunities  for  clever  work.  An  exceptionally 
good  piece  for  amateurs,  being  easily  arranged  and  extremely 
effective.  Scenery,  one  rural  English  out-door  scene.  Costumes, 
English  of  the  eighteenth  century.  Time  of  playing,  one  hour.

The  Importance  of  an  effective  m^ke-up  : s becoming  more  apparent  to 
the  professional  actor  every  year,  but  hitherto  there  has  been  no  book  on  the 
subject  describing  the  modern  methods  and  at  the  same  time  covering  all 
branches  of  the  art.  This  want  has  now  been  filled.  Mr.  Hageman  has  had 
an  experience  of  twenty  years  as  actor  and  stage-manager, and  his  well-known 
literary  ability  has  enabled  him  tc  put  the  knowledge  so  gained  into  shape 
to.be  of  use  to  others.  The  book  is  r n encyclopaedia  of  the  art  of  making  up. 
Every  branch  of  the  subject  is  exhaustively  treated,  and  few  questions  can 
^e  asked  by  professional  or  amateur  hat  oannot  oe  answered  by  this  admira- 
We  hand-book.  It  is  not  only  tL  best  nake-up  book  ever  published,  but  it 
not  likely  to  be  superseded  by  any  ot.  r.  It  is  absolutely  indispensable 
jo  every  ambitious  actor.
